Product description: Wio Tracker L1 Pro - LoRa MeshCore Development Module with GPS - Seeedstudio 100030144
The Wio Tracker L1 Pro from Seeedstudio is a portable device designed for building mesh communication networks using LoRa transmission. At the heart of the design is the energy-efficient Nordic nRF52840 ARM Cortex-M4 processor with FPU , working with the Wio-SX1262 radio module operating in the 862 MHz to 930 MHz range. The L76K module, which supports GPS , BeiDou, GLONASS, and QZSS , is responsible for location, and information about the device's operation is presented on a 1.3" OLED screen with a resolution of 128 x 64 px. The L1 Pro version comes in a housing with a built-in 2000 mAh battery and a LoRa antenna , so it requires no additional assembly. Charging is via USB Type-C , and a solar input allows for expanded power supply options during field work.

MeshCore - LoRa communication without internet
MeshCore is an open-source mesh communication system that uses LoRa technology to transmit messages without the need for Wi-Fi, cellular, or internet access. The Wio Tracker L1 Pro comes with Bluetooth Companion firmware , allowing it to function as a communication node connected via Bluetooth to a smartphone or device supporting the MeshCore app . The network can be expanded with dedicated repeaters that relay packets between users and increase the communication range. MeshCore supports public and private channels, as well as encrypted communication , making it suitable for both field applications and building your own LoRa communication infrastructure. The Wio Tracker L1 Pro also allows for the expansion of the project with Grove sensors .
The Wio Tracker L1 Pro comes pre-loaded with MeshCore Bluetooth Companion software.
